ABOUT THE BOAT:
This has been a project from the time the boat was purchased.  A complete restoration has been done including a new Yanmar 75 HP turbo engine  I now have more money in the boat than it's worth but it is very pretty in a classic way.

ABOUT THE CREW:
The crew, with the exception of Stan Fleming, are from Chicago and are part of the crew of Goblin, a N/M 50.  Most are very experienced and did the 2007 Cabo race as well as the Chicago and Port Huron Mackinac races in 2006.

WHAT'S IN A NAME:
The boat was called Condor and we felt it was an appropriate Southern Cal name and left it alone.

RANDOM:
Typically the funny story has to do with a head malfunction and will not be retold at dinner time.
